New to Big-O notation

I'm new to Big O notation, and I'd really like to figure it out. I kind of get it, but I really don't feel comfortable with it. I get that it gives some indication for time efficiency (or something like that). However I want more than just a textbook answer. I want to really understand it.

Are there any resources that present Big-O notation in a "for dummies" way?
